Why did we get rid of the option to unlock all TA players and then also get rid of the inning bosses as a whole, it’s just less content and less that can be unlocked for free. I get SDS wants to make some more profit but by that point just find a way to make TA cards obtainable through either pay or playing.
They didn't get rid of the option to unlock all TA players; they're just limiting you to a select few at a time.
That way you don't have someone, that has no life or finds an exploit, get all 30 on the first night.
So they punished everyone for the actions of a few, and you’re supporting it. Cool
It's a marathon; not a sprint.
I don’t want a marathon I want to grind for cards I want lol

I got all 30 in a week last year by playing showdowns because I wanted Jackie, it was so fun and rewarding.
And not saying what you did was wrong; but that's why they did it this way. People were finishing to fast.

I couldn’t give less of a [censored] whether someone could get all 30 in one night, and you shouldn’t either. I only care about the fact that we’re not even getting half of the content we got last year, with most of it behind a paywall for no reason.

I Want An Oompa Loompa Now

Yeah, I personally took my time completing programs because I want to enjoy and play and grind. I do want to collect every card and I will, but I don't care if it takes a while. But based on what I'm seeing, I can have the Offline content done very quickly and won't have much to do while I wait out the programs. I hope I'm wrong.

Before game even releases you’re claiming we’re not getting half the content???
Let’s just put down our flailing, waving arms and pick up a controller and enjoy the game.

It's not behind a paywall. The other 18 players will be released in packs that you can earn later on in the game's cycle.
Yes, if you want ALL 30 NOW; then you'll have to pony up the stubs.
But if you wait; you'll eventually get them all for free.
Just like @KDClemson_MLBTS stated. He got all 30 TA 1 42 Series players last year by just playing Showdown.
I don't remember the points per Showdown they had at the beginning of the year; but if in not mistake the TA path was 150 pts.
Let's say Showdown gave you 30pts per completion and you were good enough to jump straight to the final mission and beat it within 20 mins.
That means 5 Showdowns; which would take you roughly 1 hr and 30 mins would get you all 5.
Multiple that by 6 and you had all the TA 42 players, plus all the packs, in about 9 hrs of straight gameplay.
That's what they wanted to stop. They even said it in the stream. TA took over the game and it wasn't meant to do that. It was meant to give people something to work towards between content drops.
Then you eventually had the same people, who did completed the whole TA Stage 1 program in 9 hours complain that there wasn't any more content to be earned.

Are you blind or just really, really bad at simple math? Before, we got an Inning program and a separate Team Affinity program. You could earn an inning boss as well as 30 team affinity players. Now we get 12 players in the featured program, and you don’t even get to choose 6 of them.

You literally don’t know when or if we will get them later though. They’re going to be super expensive while the program is going on, and they’re going to be even more expensive when it expires. Based on the 42 cards last year, SDS won’t provide enough for the average player to buy the rest for a very long time. Like I said, I don’t give a [censored] how fast someone completes it. That has zero relevance to me or my game, and it’s weird that you care so much about it.

I’m just considering that it’s unrealistic to compare a 9 month life cycle of content against a single night of information that projects 4 weeks. Compare day 1 to day 1 as you like, but the larger picture (entire life cycle) is more important (maybe just to me).

You didn’t, you offered a general/broad “we’re not getting half the content”. We have no basis for assuming what their content release is going to be like, but agreed they’re not using the same release style/schedule as last year, but that’s not uncommon. They try things differently each year (hello immortals + [censored] bobbleheads!!!) trying to create a better game.
I personally think it’s great they’re trying to create more longevity in the early content; starting with TA2 I had all 30 players the weekend of release. And that was fine, but I’m looking forward to not pulling trout in 2 different series!!

I think people need to rewatch stream. With TA yeah you got a diamond from every team, but when TA 2 came out those cards wern't relevant anymore. And in 2 month period in programs u only got 2 bosses. With the new way in a 2 month period you are going to get 14+Bosses. It's better lineup diversity.
And nothing is said about needing all of them for a later collection so if you are buying them that's on you nothing indicating you have too.

And if all are needed for a collection i will bet you 99.9 % Certainty they will give you an oppurtunity to get them for free! Just like ASG, kitchen sink, HR Derby packs how many of those did you open for free in 21?
